You could also say "listen to the articulate and intelligent women who say it's their choice to share a husband." Why then is bigamy illegal and furthermore criminalized in a free country like Canada? Why does the State dictate to women that they are not allowed to share a husband...

So if 911 could solve all these issues, would you two be in favour of abolishing women's helplines as well? Women's shelters? As for what is a barbaric cultural practice? You could ask the same thing about "What is discrimination?" "Who gets to define who has precedence in religious freedom...

You could kind of tell by my name that I’m neither an “old stock” Canadian nor of British of French ethnicity but I have no problem with that comment. Then again I’m not hypersensitive about my ethnicity. I do recognize that Canada is based on Franco-Anglo culture and there are families that...

Did you just re-invoke the Conservative boogeyman? I thought that went out of style in 2004. :cool:

Totally true! The Liberals have done a disastrous job in Ontario and yet they keep on getting re-elected (mostly because the opposition is entirely unconvincing). After Harper fell, I heard people saying that if Trudeau screws up, that he'll be voted out of office in 4 years but I think he...

Hey we were promised flying cars! Where are they? And also back then people thought you would actually see the person that you were talking to on a PAYPHONE. Cellphones anybody?

What do you expect? It's the Star. I stopped reading it after their Sports section went down the drain. Although virtually all newspapers are somewhat biased and do have a political leaning, I find the Globe and Mail and National Post to be of higher quality. Nonetheless the National Post...

The question shouldn't what do I except him to have said, it's why did he say it in the first place? If Canada is on the government of Ukraine's side then I wouldn't have created a false illusion that by "standing up" to Putin I could accomplish something. In my humble opinion paying lip...

First of all I did say that Harper didn’t bite didn’t I? Second I said that Trudeau’s words were empty, not the Government of Canada’s, although he is the PM now. And what do you define as “standing up”? Simply saying you condemn the actions of a certain individual? In that case I can say “I...

Thanks for the detailed reply; I've heard good things about Hogtown Vegan. I should check it out when I'm in town. Not too worried about the food having a bit of flavour since a lot of vegan places do that as do a lot of vegan recipes.

I don't mean to sound sarcastic but you couldn't have found two worse guys for a street fight: Mulcair and Harper - they're both a bit overweight and completely out of shape. Since we're on the Game of Thrones Mulcair fighting Putin would be like Sansa Stark arm wrestling the Mountain :-)...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been asked before but could anybody recommend me a good vegan restaurant here in Toronto?

Now that the Liberals have won I would like to share my favourite quote or paraphrase should I say from Justin Trudeau: "Putin is a bully. If I'm elected PM, I, I'm going stand up to him." LOL we may actually get to see how this plays out because Trudeau "standing up" to Putin is like Jon...

What about Nazi war criminals that were stripped of their citizenship after being revealed? I'm sure you wouldn't argue against it so would you argue that it was because a) they lied upon their citizenship application or b) those crimes were committed in the past before their application? If...

I have yet to see a big or even medium sized city that doesn't have cases like that. George St at 2 AM was even worse back in the day; I remember about 10 years ago me and my buddy met some girls from Cornwall while clubbing. They were really impressed with Toronto so we decided to take them...

^Seriously? I remember there were some girls that would pose with him, mostly a freak fetish thing, but I don't recall him being too aggressive to anybody. I guess he got a restraining order :). Speaking of colourful characters, here's one from the Toronto club scene; I don't know his real...

Quote of the French language debate "Assad has killed 8 times more people than ISIS" - Elizabeth May. I'm no fan of Assad but could anybody seriously say they would rather be under ISIS than Assad?

I see this far too often in Toronto; generally in Canada people will say hello with a follow up about the weather is or typical small talk but in Toronto some neighbours will not even acknowledge your existence. I lived at the West Mall in the 90s and although it's not exactly the most...

LOL @ Zanta; it's too bad that he got out of shape. I remember when he got removed from the CityTV building and also got a ban from the TTC. But was he really threatening on anybody? I just remember he used to talk so much gibberish so quickly, you couldn't understand him.

Sorry that I'm replying late but have you tried Bier Markt in the St Lawrence Market area? I haven't been there for a while and it gets crowded on weekend nights but they do have English beers as I recall from a couple of years ago.
